Yes you can upgrade your phone if you are running a pc with 64 bit operating system. I have a laptop with Win 7, 64 bit operating system and that is what I use for my upgrades.

One way is to assign contacts to groups and the assign a ring tone to the group. Note that it is possible to create groups of only one contact. When you see the listing of contacts in the group tap of edit group. Then change ring tone.

yes, you can use it via usb tethering or mibile AP.

download easytunes from the market..it takes you through the steps. itunes should recognize your phone as it was an ipod

Those are sensors for the brightness auto adjustment as well as proximity sensor for dimming the phone when it is next to your ear. No LED lights... I thought the same thing.

have you tried the market app GPRestoreSamsung app.

AVS video converter works well also.

Keith,
Here's the situation, the Vibrant is a variation of the i9000, the Original Galaxy S phone launched in Asian Markets. That phone has a FFC(Front-Facing Camera). The Vibrant has the capability to support a FFC (See Canadian Mobile provider, Rogers' version of the Vibrant) , IN FACT, with a little tenacity (and know how), you could install the FFC yourself. Unfortunately, US Providers like to alter almost ALL phones before they release it. Real bummer too, because Samsung had a fine original design. Now if they can only get cracking on the Froyo Update!!!!!!!! :D

Thank you for your inquiry.
The T-Mobile Vibrant (SCH-t959) has a new maintenance release, version JI6.
Note: The update process time may vary due to different download speeds.

T-Mobile is sending the JI6 update over the air. To speed up the process, Samsung has released Mini Kies as a method to update the Vibrant to JI6 by connecting it to a computer.

Note: This method should not erase any information on the phone.

For instructions and Kies Mini download file, go to http://www.samsung.com/us/vibrant/softwareupdate

Hello and thank you for reaching out!

I suggest removing recent apps and files you have recently added to your phone. Also try clearing the cache. For more info: http://bit.ly/Kf9mgF

If that does not work, try a hard/factory reset AFTER you backup your data FIRST. Instructions here: http://bit.ly/KfakJG

Since the problem is hardware related you need to get your phone fixed or replaced.

if you want the phone to have Avatar on your new SD card, then Cut and past the Avatar movie from your original sd card to your new (and I assume bigger) sd card. the movie will work flawlessly after that.

I just submitted an answer to this question and ask what OS you are using... My apologies. I just read that you are using XP... Sorry for not seeing that. and asking about Vista and 7.

So, do you see Removable disk in My Computer after you select mount? What happens when you select mount on the phone? On my Vibrant, I have it set to Mass storage in Settings >Applications > USB Settings. Might want to check that setting and try it if different.
